Do you agree with this article on scoring?
DiscipleofPenick replied to Javs's topic in Articles of Interest
This is correct, but it's nothing new. Same stuff that's been said for 100 years. -
Is Golf's Dress Code Outdated?
DiscipleofPenick replied to GolfSpy_APH's topic in Breaking News and Debate
For public golf I don't think it really matters. My biggest concern is the people who just hear they need cleats/spikes to play and show up in baseball or football cleats...yes this happens. I don't care about t-shirts, tanks, short shorts, tennis shoes whatever. Like I've said before, and others have mentioned, just get done in 4-4 1/2 hours and don't trash the course. -
What Club is Your 150 Yard Club?
DiscipleofPenick replied to GolfSpy_APH's topic in General Equipment Talk
A solid 9 iron gets me there. -
It's an hour 15 for me from west CLE suburbs, 71 the whole way. A few of us played Ashland CC last year and I really liked it. That's just under an hour, so I'd be up for meeting there anytime, doesn't have to be a thing.
-
I know the 3 of us in CLE ( @MattF & @MaxEntropy ) also want to get down to Cbus for one, or at least meet at Deer Ridge.

Nothing scheduled yet just ideas. Also NOGA is holding one of their stroke players tournaments at CIC this year. I'm planning on playing that
-
Yes! I'll be adding more posts and try to set up 3-4 of these throughout the summer. There's a few of us in Cleveland and a few more in Columbus that try to play

What is your opinion of this putting performance
DiscipleofPenick replied to cnosil's topic in General Q&A
I think the 'average' golfer should be estatic with those numbers. Remember 8 foot is the 50% mark for the best in the world. So if you are draining 35% from that distance you are still an amazing putter. I am a 5 hcp and my numbers aren't that good, so I don't know where they got the data from. -
TaylorMade TP5/TP5X Golf Balls! - 2024 Forum Review
DiscipleofPenick replied to GolfSpy_APH's topic in Forum Testing Reviews
Thanks everyone. Excited to test these. I did try a sleeve last year and was pleasantly surprised by how they performed. -
Hitting fairways might be overrated
DiscipleofPenick replied to Javs's topic in Articles of Interest
I've been saying this for a long time. I don't care if I'm in the fairway. The public courses I play don't have long rough so there's no penalty for missing a fairway. Some courses have fescue if you get really wild though. But 150 from center line or the rough doesn't make a difference to me. Also, there could be advantages to missing the fairway. During the dry months you'll get quite a bit more rollout on certain courses. Older courses with single line irrigation aren't going to water their rough. So you get more roll and find fliers. -

Worst equipment mistakes you've made
DiscipleofPenick replied to tony@CIC's topic in General Equipment Talk
High bounce wedges, did not work and short game went to crap. -
I've tried the TP5 as I've found them or swapped a sleeve with a buddy. Right now, after the Srixon Z-Star, which I've been playing for years, this is my second favorite ball. What is also surprising is that while the Callaway soccer balls, Srixon Divide, and TM Tour Response stripe bug the crap out of me, the PIX does not. Odd that I find that one not distracting, wonder what the reason is...

I also bought two dozen of these, and I took them to hit on a sim. Just a net, no wall behind them. I noticed the wedge shots put a little fuzz on the ball but no marks or damage from irons or woods. I am hoping they hold up a bit better than @Shepardspi showed when I take them to the course. If not save them for my bad days or a course with a ton of water.
